Dive into a seafood spectacle — see the lobster up close and celebrate James & Carmina’s birthdays at Fresh International, Solaire Resort.

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

Things to know before your Sydney, Australia trip:


Before I travel somewhere new I would like to find out more about the country in order to adapt myself and know what food is known there while I am in their area and what food I can bring back home with me.

Australia is known for kangaroo and koala more into nature, beach and urban places.

The people are called, Aussie.

The common food eaten in Australia is vegemite. I tried that didn’t like the taste of it. Not my kind of spread you put on your bread.


TimTam (chocolate biscuit) – My son told me he has a friend from Australia.  Use tim tam use as a straw and suck the drink through the biscuit to add flavor on their coffee or hot chocolate.
Eating alone is already sweet for me.


Meat Pies – Stuffed minced meat, gravy, mushroom, onion and cheese. You can purchase it in the bakery and supermarket. It can also be store in the freezer and warm later when you would like to eat it.

Fish and Chips – They give you a big serving of fries on one order is enough for everyone. Don’t be mistaken fries for those means chips and the ketchup are extra charge.

I remember when I had visited in Melbourne two years ago my Uncle wanted more ketchup they had charge me for it came in a small ketchup bottle.

You can try kangaroo meat never wanted to try something exotic.

Snacks my family loves the most is Arnots Shapes Baked Not Fried crackers comes in flavor pizza, cheese and bacon, honey barbecue and barbecue.


The chips I always look into which they don’t have in the Philippines is Kettle Chips Barbecue flavor.

My niece they love using Lucas Papaw Ointment and I started using it too great for your lips.



Of course, what we see when you are there you end up buying what is not on your list.
